New Remington Muzzleloader

[GoneBallistic]

Has anyone bought one yet? Looks pretty interesting.

It might be a nice rifle, but that site sure isn't designed for mobile.

Very cool but I wonder when TN might go to a .45-70 rule for BP shooting. That seems to have pretty spelled out the demise of BP hunting in 

MS.

 

Personally I still shoot BP matches for fun using a Thompson Center Hawkins .50 cal. I have a Pedersoli .50 Cal Pennsylvania arriving 

on Thursday so I'll have a side lock and cap lock to play with now and if TEOTWAWKI hits all I'll have to do is find some saltpeter to 

make my own BP.  :)

I think I'll stick with my Savage smokeless. If Remington wanted to make the latest and greatest ultimate muzzleloader, why is it not smokeless?

I'm not familiar with this rule. What exactly does it entail?

Good point. They claim it'll reach out to 300 yards though. I kinda like BP.

Does that mean it has be be like a Sharps rifle or would something like a NEF HandiRifle be ok?

It's odd that these require a 4473.

I would like to hear an official statement on that. By the wording of the law, sounds like both are good to go. That being said, I wouldn't want to be the first to lay one down with a single shot high powered rifle during muzzleloader season. Even if it was technically legal, it seems like it would be a fight.

From your lips to God's ear. I'd even be glad to use a single shot rifle in .45-70. I only use black powder because it's better than archery and I only use archery cause it's better than not hunting.

I sold my Springfield .45-70 Trapdoor because I bought an 1859 Sharps .45-100. If I lived in MS it'd be legal for BP season but it

might be a lil overkill for our lil deer.

Probably because of that ignition system.

[FreedomGunCo]

Wonder when it will be recalled?

[Lowpower]

With as many deer roaming the streets of MS? Probably never!

It is kind of nice that you can use a single shot 45-70 in Mississippi.  I think you can also use a single shot 45-70 in Louisiana too during their primitive season.

The Remington certainly looks like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Perhaps it makes one's penis larger. :shrug:
